aspnet5 - dnx-watch not added to path

Probably missing something obvious, but... After successfully installing dnx-watch via "dnu install Microsoft.Dnx.Watcher --no-cache"

GET https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/FindPackagesById()?id='Microsoft.Dnx.Watcher'
OK https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/FindPackagesById()?id='Microsoft.Dnx.Watcher' 101ms
Microsoft.Dnx.Watcher.1.0.0-rc1-final was added to project.json.

However, when trying to run "dnx-watch" I receive:

'dnx-watch' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Now, the package and realted files do exist under {user}.dnx\packages\Microsoft.Dnx.Watcher

I guess I expected it to be added to the path such that it is usable after install. If I directly reference "{user}.dnx\packages\Microsoft.Dnx.Watcher\app\dnx-watch.cmd" in the dir containing my project.json I get:

Error: Unable to load application or execute command 'Microsoft.Dnx.Watcher'. Available commands: dnx-watch.

I'm using the dnx clr rc1-final

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try using dnu commands install Microsoft.Dnx.Watcher instead, dnx-watch is not a usual package, it doesn't need to be added to project.
